NFL Wild Card Predictions

[OumaFan]

Phillip Rivers is a clown

So is Merriman. I didn't realize it till today but I dislike the Chargers.

[Julius Rain]

Yea yea yea!!!!!!!! Hawks dominated the redskins. I can't believe people still don't get how much better the seahawks are at home, and I can't believe the saints are such underachivers this year. They were the only team to beat seahawks in seattle. Suprise me they didn't make the playoffs they lost a dozen of close games they should of won. Oh well my boys in blue got to go against bret favre and his young guns in green bay. I think the hawks are too experience for brets young team.

Who you guys got for the second round of the NFL playoffs?

I got:

Hawks over Packers

Pats over Jaguars

Colts over Chargers

Giants over Dallas if T.O doesn't play. I just don't have faith in Q.B like Tony Romo, they get overhyped and then when its playoff time they DON'T get the Win.

CC for the question Rainy

I'm runnin' with:

Green Bay over Seattle
Dallas over New York
Indy over San Diego
New England over Jacksonville

with Indy over Dallas in the superbowl

[TitoFan]

Not close:

Washington over Seattle (WRONG)
San Diego over Tennessee

Very close:

Pittsburgh over Jacksonville (WRONG)
Tampa Bay over New York Giants (WRONG)

LOL...... I think I'll keep my day job.

I could very well see the top 4 teams being in the Conference finals in each respective conference (GB, Dal, Ind, Nwe)

but i would LOVE to see the Giants upset the Cowboys as i can't stand Romo and TO.. Plus it would be really cool to see GB vs the Pats in the Superbowl again.. I think GB could beat the Giants pretty soundly but Dallas would be a tough game.. Either way if the Colts and Pats both win this weekend then that will be a bigger game than the superbowl (as far as talent goes).. I wouldn't rate any team in the NFC that is remaining higher than the Pats or Colts.. not even close.

[OumaFan]

I was gonna go all favorites but i'll throw in the one big upset, probably won't happen, but Jacksonville's no joke, even though the Pittsburgh game was close I think Jacksonville matches up better with New England.

Of course I don't really watch much NFL so basically just making this shit up as I go along.

Green Bay
Dallas
Indy
Jacksonville

My pics are below.

Jags vs Patriots = Jags
Colts vs Chargers = Colts

Packers vs Seattle = Packers
Giants vs Cowboys = Giants

I really think the Jags have the tools to give the Patriots there first loss. If The jags don't beat them I think the Patriots will win the Super Bowl.

I've been perfect with my predictions, so far (as evidenced earlier in this thread) so I owe it to myself and all of you to try to keep my perfect streak going

Colts over Chargers

Seahawks over Packers

Patriots over Jags

Giants over Cowboys

I almost sad clicked you guys THE TITANS ARE GONNA SPANK THE CHARGERS!!!
What were you thinking?

Vince Young is the single most over-rated player in all professional sports. Had he finished his game against the Colts, he more than likely would have thrown an interception or two.

You should be thanking Kerry Collins and PRAYING that he plays against San Diego, otherwise the Titans have no shot.

Yeah hes over-rated, you must have missed his 8-8 and 10-6 records in his first 2 years. The 8-8 was a huge improvement from the year before. He also has the most amount of yards combined rushing and passing of any 2 year quarterback, he has been playing hurt since the TB game. Check your facts before you say stupid S***.

Wow!!


Your boy Vince Young looked fantastic while leading the Titans to a whopping 6 points against the Chargers defense.

The Titans defense kept it close (like I told you they usually do) but Vince couldn't "lead," them to a single touchdown. Remember me telling you they should start Collins?? Had they done so, Collins might have done enough to win them the game. God knows he couldn't have gotten them any less points.

WE have it exactly the same. You care to enlight us of your picks?

Heres my reason:

Colts over Chargers because Colts are just overall the better team and are at home where it is always an advantage for the home team.

Pats over Jags, although I don't think pats have a better ground game then the Jags imo. The experience and the winning mentality of the patriots will not fail them to go undefeated then lose their first game at home. The weather will probubly give Jags the advantage with the run game but the Patriots defense can prolly contain them enough to secure a victory.

Hawks over Packers becuase I think Favres team are young and the Seahawks are more experience and the defense is going into the game very motivated. The defense have some great players heading to the pro bowl and two of them made the all pro team. Imo the hawks defense will carry them to a victory not only will they hold off favres offense but they will most likely score as well via fumble recovery or interceptions.

Giants over Dallas, i think Dallas is set up for desaster. After losing the way they did to washington heading to the playoffs. romo who is suppose to be leading the team is out on vacation and T.O is not a 100%. I think it'll be close but if Dallas pulls it off it'll be becuase of a poor performance from the Giants. In that case i think the giants need to take whats there for the taking cause Dallas appear to be slacking at the wrong time of the season.

Colts over Chargers - I agree that it's because they are the better team. The Chargers offense looked stagnant against Tennessee's defense (a very good defense, though) last week. Plus, the Colts have the offense to score big points on touchdowns on a pretty good (but not great) Chargers defense. Not to mention that Harrison is gonna be back! Harrison AND Wayne is lethal.

Seahawks over Packers - It's hard to pick against GB at Lambeau, especially in the playoffs, but the Seahawks defense looked nothing short of incredible last week and Matt Hasselbeck quietly put up his best year in the NFL this season. One of the Packers biggest strengths is their rushing defense, but that's gonna be a liability this week seeing as how Seattle has almost no rushing attack. Also, there's been a buzz about this being Holmgren's last season in Seattle, so his team is gonna have a little extra motivation.

Giants over Cowboys - Eli is hot all of a sudden! Their offense is clicking, and I expect Jacobs to have a much better game this week. Tony Romo without T.O. is an average QB and T.O. isn't gonna be anywhere near 100% for this game. NY just needs to stop the run and wait for Romo to have one of his signature days where he loses a big game all by his self.

Patriots over Jaguars - David Garrard was near perfect in the regular season (only 3 picks all season) but looked very mediocre in his first playoff game. So far, I think it's because he's young and doesn't have the playoff experience more so than him being the "choke artist," that some are already labeling him. Tom Brady (when he retires) will be labeled as one of the greatest QB's of all time when all is said and done. I shouldn't have to even mention the edge that the Patriots have in playoff experience, and don't forget that this may be the best that the juggernaut Patriots have ever been.

yea this has got to be the best new england has ever been. 16-0 perfect in the regular season, and I really can't pick against them in the playoffs. They can be 19-0 after the superbowl and I wouldn't be suprise. I like the jags but i really can't see them upsetting the patriots in new england.

The colts shouldn't have much problems dealing with the chargers unless L.T put on a historic performance. Peyton is more capable of doing so though and his team is the defending champs. People seem to be forgetting that. Im really looking forward to them defending the title against New England in the conference finals.

The Giants did lose to Dallas twice this year already but like I said before Dallas is set up for a desaster playoff round this sunday. Romo is overhype and T.O is not a 100%, I know theres more to Dallas then those two since they did win the most games in the NFC, but Giants IMO got them at the right time and they are hot at the right time of the season.

Yea its hard to choose against the Packers in Green Bay, but Holmgren has a dynasty record there and last time Seattle and Green Bay played a playoff game there it went to over time and it was a chess match between Hasselback and Favre. Too bad though that Matt Hasselback made the crucial error first in overtime when he threw the ball while his reciever ran the wrong route. Al Harris jump it and we all know what happen afterwards. I really like the hawks defense they are going into this very motivated. Having 2 all pro and 4 pro bowl players. I think as long as the defense bring there A game Bret favre and his Packers are going to have a hard time. If Favre begins to get careless I can see the hawks defense scoring or setting up the hawks offense in great scoring position.

[Punisher136]

Yes seattles defense did set them up in great scoring position TWICE as a matter of fact and they cashed in but they got spotted 14 free points and still could keep it within two touchdowns at the final score?

yea the hawks was dominating up til it started snowing like crazy. the hawks defense lives and die's by its speed. they close in quick to tackle or get a sack but the snow really nuetralize there speed causing them to get overmatch by packers offensive line. Its weird cause the snow came right when the packers needed it. From there on they just smash the seahawks. a good win for favre he is a legend coming right back after a devestating start. credit to the hawks too if he hadn't snowed the results would of probubly be the other way around.

I was 1-1 last night, the hawks lost but my patriots won.

now on to todays games.
